Acquisition of a High-Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer

这份来自化学研究仪器项目和仪器与仪器开发项目的合同将帮助肯塔基大学化学系获得核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪控制台和探针，用于以下化学领域的研究调查。1)金属积垢烯和碳化物配合物的核磁共振研究2)水跨红细胞膜运输的核磁共振研究3)局部场对蛋白质反应性的影响4)硼氮化合物的研究。5)天然产物结合微管蛋白的光亲和探针。核磁共振（NMR）光谱学是化学家用来阐明分子结构的最有力的工具。它用于识别未知物质，表征分子内原子的特定排列，并研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。获得最先进的核磁共振光谱是必不可少的化学家谁正在进行前沿研究。这些核磁共振研究的结果在聚合物和催化以及生物学等领域都很有用。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program and the Instrumentation and Instrument Development Program will help the Department of Chemistry at the University of Kentucky acquire a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer console and probes which will be used in research investigations in the following areas of Chemistry. 1) NMR Studies of Metallacumulenes and Carbide Complexes. 2) NMR Studies of Water Transport Across Erythrocyte Membranes. 3) The Influence of Local Fields on Protein Reactivity. 4) Studies on Boron-Nitrogen Compounds. 5) Photoaffinity Probes for Natural Products Binding Tubulin. % % % Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy is the most powerful tool available to the chemist for the elucidation of the structure of molecules. It is used to identify unknown substances, characterize specific arrangements of atoms within molecules, and to study the dynamics of interactions between molecules in solution. Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectrometry is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. The results from these NMR studies are useful in areas such as polymers and catalysis, and in biology.
